About this space

Makers Quarter brings together two creative spaces — Kolab Concept Store & Kitchen and the Makers Quarter Studios for art, pottery, and textiles.

1. Kolab Concept Store & Kitchen
Kolab isn’t your usual café. It’s a mix of great design, local food, and good vibes. You can shop unique lifestyle brands, grab amazing coffee, and enjoy fresh, local dishes.

It’s also a great spot for events — from product launches and creative workshops to private parties. Brands like Crocs and JD Sports have already hosted here, so you know it’s a solid choice.

2. Makers Quarter Studios
Right next to Kolab, you’ll find our art, pottery, and textiles studios — over 2,000 sq ft of space built for creativity. We run hands-on classes, team sessions, and workshops that suit any occasion.

You can book one space or take over the whole area. Perfect for team-building days, office parties, or product launches — whatever you’ve got in mind.
